You may want to order new rod bolts and have a really good look when you fit the new bearings...plasti gauge may or may not help.
You may have distorted the rod journal or stretched the rod bolts when you torqued them with the thicker bearings...be careful!!
Only removing the rod/piston and using a bore gauge will tell you if you have distorted the journal.
BTW...no offense meant by the "patch job" but it has been know to happen!! People then sell the car on to the next guy.
